TMagic, for what it is worth, I do know that there have been serious issues with the Logitech G15 keyboards but that wouldn't explain the memory corruption as probable cause. Thought I'd just through that out there...

@ arthurduplessis, you have an Asus motherboard and they can be very picky about the RAM used in their motherboards. Is your particular memory model recommended by Asus? You may also want to check the memory voltage in your BIOS and see if there is a descrepency between what the recommended voltage is and what your motherboard has it set at.

arthurduplessis, nice specs... Have you tried upping the memory voltage a bit. I never do anything ASUS but, the memory adjustment worked for my overclocked Q6600, with Windows 7. My system is running rock solid, with Windows 7 out preforming my dual Vista OS hands down.

Just my 2 cents...

The keyboard has been working fine as there was issues like you stated back with the original drivers but I make sure to update it then its pretty sound.

I had contacted asus and corsair and they have assured me both are compliant.
Even had them just the ver. of the ram to just in case.

I will contact them tomorrow to fine tune the voltages cause I'm not to sure what there to be at.

This may take adjusting the memory timings too

Thing is nothings overclocked but I will be contacting them tomorrow to fine tune the timings and voltages cause most mobo's have issues with the memory controller when all slots are occupied

I have stayed with xp till this date as vista and me do not get along.
I will get windows 7 when it officially releases... I have tested it though
on another pc here and enjoyed what I have seen.

Is there any other things that come to mind?
Also good thing to note which eluded me was that the sound drivers may be
the cause. I had noticed it kept trying to reconfigure the sound after it was configured however there seems to be no update to te sound drivers from asus
since its release.

I didn't mean to mislead you. I was getting BSOD's before I overclocked. Windows 7 is more sensitive to the overclocked settings. I'm running the CPU at 3.5GHz and the 667MHz memory is running at 870MHz. Vista x64 will allow my CPU to go to 4GHz, but Windows 7 x64 loses stability at 3.6GHz. I raised the RAM voltage from 1.83v to 1.86v. The RAM timings were left at nominal on my Abit IP35 Pro motherboard

I spent a lot of time going over every possible thing and discovered the issue.
It turns out it was due my MP3 player having a autorun.inf worm. Every time it
was accessed it would try to rewrite a system file to mask itself on my main drives
however my antivirus and OS would not allow such a task to be preformed resulting
in a BSOD.

I would like to thank Tmagic650 as well as Route44 for there help and advice.
I managed to clean my MP3 player and if the BSOD reoccurs now that my system
and all my devices are cleaned I shall return to try and figure out what may have
contributed to the issue(or what the root cause was {god forbid there is one!}).

Thanks for getting back to us. This is good information to know especially since the issue was something "out of left field" so to speak. What made you to even consider your MP3 and how did you discover the infection?

I had to charge my mp3 player while I was in safe mode and my pc alerted me to
a autorun.inf and a fake system file... once I noticed that autorun.sjl or .inf file
I did a tad bit of research to review all known issues with said worm.

I recall a quick dialogue box before one of the crashes stating a change to the
registry was trying to be attempted and that BSOD was associated with this worm
along with registry changes. once cleaned I figured it had to be the worm as to
this point I'm BSOD free.

After 10 posts you should be able to post minidumps properly... Check your hard drive for errors by going to My Computer, and right-clicking on the C drive. Select Tools, and schedule a disk check on reboot. If the drive is ok, replace the system memory

This here is my 10th post actually and
I have done a full scan of both hard drives. I have tried swapping the memory still no change. Could it be the memory controller on the mobo? How could I test for that?

I just reinstall chipset drivers for the mobo and the gfx card...
remove the logitech g15 software. along with some random apps
I don't use any more,did a clean up of all temp files and frag both
drives...god the terabyte drive took forever.

I manually set all the bios voltages and settings so its all to the correct
timings or underclocked to prevent stress to the mobo.

did disk scans and spent 2 days cycling through diffent anti virus's,spyware
malware,wurm removal programs. reinstalled a lot of software to insure no glitches

I'm stable now for about a day will post again if another bsod happens
